RE: Steem Cleaners needs a cleaning

in #witness6 years ago

You ignorant under-informed comment only points out how clueless you are about the work that steemcleaners do such as intensity of work,and the amount of abuse that we have to deal with every day.

Just some example is recent investigation-fight with never ending wave of tens and tens of accounts being created to phish on fake Steemit websites.

Or thousands of accounts being created to farm faucets, reward pool or various projects.
This is just to add to hundreds of reports that we have to process each week submitted by community.
We currently have backlog of few hundred of reports.
It often happened that some members had to work up to 55 hours per week.

Sort:  

I'm not saying steemcleaners doesn't do good. I know steem is full of spam and phishing and what have you. Unfortunately 1 bad apple flagging innocent people makes the whole system look bad despite your efforts.

There are a LOT of people who are flagged by abuse reporting systems simply because an admin doesn't like them. Just look at abusereports/bernie as the most obvious example

berniesanders is not steemcleaners member and never has been. He has no affiliation with our project. What he personally does with his flagging projects has no connection with SC.

I'm not referring to him as a member of steemcleaners... and you're missing my point here. There is no unbiased reporting system.

And if he has no affiliation with your project why is abusereports not on your blacklist? I have not seen a single account/person commit more abuse.
If I am to report him to steemcleaners should I expect a response?
You have to at least be aware of your bias if you want steemcleaners to improve!

And have you ever thought about a system for paying back innocent steemians whose posts were unfairly flagged? Like dreamryder? He is right when he says this causes drawbacks in investment. While flagging people preserves the reward pool for others it is also driving away serious investment in steem which might be hurting the ecosystem more. Thousands of people have been flagged away from using the platform.

This is exactly the point I was trying make, you said it perfectly the-oracool.

  • this causes drawbacks in investment. While flagging people preserves the reward pool for others it is also driving away serious investment in steem which might be hurting the ecosystem more. Thousands of people have been flagged away from using the platform.

I am going to use this in a follow up post. I feel like it's worth repeating.
